that's why you hear that old republican saw that harry reid won't even present a budget to the senate. you may have also heard the often-repeated claim that president obama's budget was struck down in the house and the senate, getting zero votes. goose eggs from either party. but those bills were not the budget. they were shell versions of the president's budget put forward by republicans, designed to fail. they were not budgets this he were just politics. republicans did put out their own budget plan in the form of paul ryan's path to prosperity. but bipartisan bickering resulted in no progress there, either. part of the reason our government has been able to survive without a budget is because of something called continuing resolutions. which are essentially an extension of the existing budget. so it is not true as many of you enjoyed tweeting me, that the u.s. doesn't have a budget. we just haven't had a new one in some years and that is a bad thing. it's also not true that obama's budget got no votes, because that wasn't obama's budget. the sad truth is that we do not have a budge

you obviously have obama and you have harry reid. in the senate at some point it becomes every man for himself. people looking at the 2014 elections. there are, i believe, 20 democrats that are going to be up for re-election in the senate and 13 i think republicans. at some point people are playing to whatever their states are, to whatever their different counties are, so i think it's very hard to figure out one person who is going to be sort of the clarion voice of bipartisanship. i think we've seen in the different parties a move toward the south in terms of republicans, fewer northeastern republicans, fewer moderate republicans, so that's a real issue so i am sort of at a loss to think about people who will some forward and sort of lead the charge for bipartisanshipship. maybe people like joe biden who seems to be everybody's favorite democrat these days. >> nia, we were hoping you would give us that clear choice of who will lead the process forward. who do you think might lead that process that ari is talking about, the idea of m
